@ Jon Payne To get these values, did you collect the GPS points and start with them in the collector based on just exactly what was collected via NRTK...
@ OleManRiver How do you PM someone on this website? I need this weekend to sort out all of this information presented to me.
@ Norm I appreciate your input, but this is our standard way of doing things. My coworker and I are trying to institute new methods of doing things. H...
@ OleManRiver I'm not sure about private messaging on this new website. Thanks for the info. I'm using this job as a model for similar jobs in the fut...
@ Norman_Oklahoma Comparing SP grid coordinates to ground measurements this may account for the greater part of your misclosure. GPS102-GPS101 Grid di...
The traverse was completed yesterday. The closing azimuth was 6" less than the record azimuth. The traverse length was 3338'. The error of closure was...
@ dwoolley Is the “always have a long backsight” an old wive’s tale? Not exactly. It matters if you are setting points or collecting coordinates. A 0....
@ RobertUSA Thanks for your help.
@ Norman_Oklahoma I don’t know if we could select a closer base. I could switch to a multi-base solution.
@ WA-ID Surveyor Unfortunately, we're going to have to live with those 2 unbalanced legs. Had to get around a 90° curve. Contrary to that, 2 and 5 are...
@ Jon Payne That's some fascinating stuff. Thanks for deciphering the data.
@ WA-ID Surveyor I assume you are traversing due to non-gps friendly work throughout the corridor? The office probably wants to traverse for that reas...
@ Jon Payne If you have the vector data and error ellipses for the GNSS points, why not incorporate that data into your adjustment. Great idea. Thanks...
@ OleManRiver What field software are you running with? Topcon MAGNET Field. Thanks for the advice concerning grid and ground. We got rained out today...
In your opinion, what skill training do our land surveying technicians need to progress beyond being button pushers? Field procedures for GNSS. Speci...
@ Norman_Oklahoma For the record, I’ve long felt that the common box tape is way too floppy to accurately measure the instrument height. Especially in...
@ OleManRiver Try searching also for the 5 rules of contours. Found them. Every point on a contour line is of the exact same elevation. In other word...
@ dave-o To get flow paths across land you can use Civil 3D on an existing and proposed surface to “drop water” along your ridgelines or boundaries an...
@ OleManRiver I have an old book from the military that would be awesome for teaching contours. Maybe I can get the book from the Internet. What's the...
